Christmas Crochet Inspiration
A few years ago, I designed Santa's Blanket and the pattern has been a hit ever since! This is absolutely my Christmas decor style, and I am so excited to add a Santa Stocking this year. I love the classic Christmas colors and I think the Santa belt buckle is such a cute and simple touch to this easy stocking.
Use Bulky Yarn to Crochet Santa's Stocking Fast
If you are anything like me - sometimes good intentions to crochet Christmas decor get lost in the craziness of life. If I were "on the ball" I would have had this made and ready to share about a month ago. But life happens, am I right? The great news is that the super bulky Wool-Ease Thick and Quick works up…well…quickly as you’d guess. So you will be able to make one stocking or a set of stockings with plenty of time to spare before Christmas.
Make this Quick Christmas Stocking in Any Color
Not into Santa themed Christmas decor? No worries! You can easily modify this stocking pattern to be a gorgeous, solid colored stocking with a fur trim. I think that would be a really elegant look for a set of family Christmas stockings.
